There are speakers on the roof as they are part of the fire alarm system but under normal operation they just play music and building announcements. Usually places with voice evac systems will have the music switched off in non-public areas, obviously Houndshill couldn’t be arsed to do that!
That's a very good point! I remember going to Houndshill in the past and they played music on the car park levels too even though they used horn speakers which are very crap at playing music. I just haven't seen any other building with music enabled on all speakers but I do like it as well
I think the Balloon Tram was modernised during the tram systems upgrade. As is common with major upgrades in England, everything broke down on re-opening if memory serves, so the Balloon was modernised and brought back into service to allow at least part of the line to work. The doors being modernised to work with latest regulation, etc. I could be wrong. It's like with the 313's down here in on the coast, when Southern started running them, the doors only had an audible warning for closing. Now it's a much louder alarm for both open and close, with a different sound altogether.
I remember that Castle hotel had such a dodgy lift when I was a kid that It gave me a fear of lifts..kept getting stuck between floors for a few seconds and then as we were leaving it was out of service…
In Queensland, we have eight types of trains, but most look the same as another stock, so oftentimes it does feel that only one type of stock operates. Same probably goes for the trams over there, minus the identical-ness probably.
The guy in the start who threatened to Assault Beno was a typical Jeremy Kyle Contestant from Blackpool (I'm gonna get a load of hate for this calm down its a joke)
The first lift that had the fujitec voice was more than likely installed by a generic company called "Lancashire and Cumbria lifts". They are likely to put fujitec voices on their lifts. I have been in one that has said Floor exit floor when it got to the ground lol.
Oh my days Beno this is a rough place, I've spent many a day there. Didn't Ally Law try and crash into one of those seafront hotels n got the same reaction from that dude? The trams are the best! I still have an affection for Blackpool tower but it's been ruined by Merlin over commercialising it, extortionate price and long waits to get in these days.
Hello Beno, could you please release a normal video featuring all the content recorded inside & outside of this tram 3:10 ? It's freaking amazing and I'd like to watch it without commentary if possible.
I don't think anyone would be interested. The tram only did a clean acceleration once or twice. The rest of the clips I have are of trams not accelerating well, which is not at the quality level I want for my channel.
Beno and boys, DO come over to North Wales to the worlds fastest zip line o er the Penryn quarry and the cable car at The Great Orme and the tram that traverses it. That'll keep you busy.
Blackpool 😃 this place is my holiday place cause I have family members up here but it’s nice to see that you managed to get round here. Not many good lifts but did you get the lift in Boots pharmacy? I know there’s a lift in there but I don’t know if it runs or not. Also a very odd tram bus lol 😂 I wonder when they got the Enviro 400 Hybrid City’s as I thought they where London only like the NRM NB4L or as many people no it as is Borris Bus. You should come back to go in Blackpool tower as there is some awesome manual door lifts worked by staff and I challenge you to walk and lay down in the glass floor which and hold up to 2 elephants! But yeah it’s a very good holiday place. Just wish there was an Ecodisc as it would make it look better.
I wonder what the fuck that guy outside the Ambassador Hotel's problem was, especially considering you were only standing outside taking pictures - its not even like you'd gone in! Someone must've really pissed him off earlier in the day, and he was looking to pick a fight with someone out on the street. What a prick, either way.
Actually, the Blackpool Norbreck Hotel owned by Britannia Hotels, (the same company that owns the Metropole, Savoy and some others) was actually a castle at first. Later converted into a hotel. By the way, I love your videos and have visited The Norbreck many times before.
Hihi that castle hotel is pathetic! Such a kitsch and tacky looking building an you’ve got to use coloured keys like Doom! Whoever decided to use couloured keys must have played a few iD software games to many....
17:18 the cars are driving backwards
HA LOL
Europe Trains! I think he knows but it’s quite funny to think they where
WTH I saw that
@Europe Trains!: Trains and soccer, it is
also noticed it. That made my day!
There are speakers on the roof as they are part of the fire alarm system but under normal operation they just play music and building announcements. Usually places with voice evac systems will have the music switched off in non-public areas, obviously Houndshill couldn’t be arsed to do that!
I think it's better if they're always running, so that you know if they're working or not
That's a very good point! I remember going to Houndshill in the past and they played music on the car park levels too even though they used horn speakers which are very crap at playing music. I just haven't seen any other building with music enabled on all speakers but I do like it as well
10:20 Is that Jordan plugging his channel- well played

2:19 the pacer of the trams

Ever plan on returning? Maybe try to surf the tower assuming the injunction has expired yet.
I remember that Otis lift in Blackpool tower as a kid and I’m glad ITS STILL THERE (as of this video)
Wow very nice old trams!

I went to the Norbreck Castle Hotel ages ago for the car rally presentation when there use to be a car rally on the prom 🙂
Mr Crucifix!!!
15:54 I completely agree with what you said about that stair lift!
My New Worst Lift Ever!
Ally law being on a tresspassing notice as usual.
vegas did well with the intro again i see
Clearly says “stay the fuck out”
I don’t think they’re allowed to put signs up worded like that

WTF! WTF! lol. Made me laugh. And it's obvious why they have the Christmas music on the roof, To deter trespassers!
You're screen after you pressed the Russian buzzer 😂I died
22:16 Very Angry Guy!

I Remember Staying At That Castle Hotel At 17:45 And I Got Stuck In It Twice Good You Didn't Get Stuck!!!
I stayed there a few times in the mid 2000’s and it was breaking down back then daily!
I love the lift in Boots! ❤
It's not fair that pigeons don't get in trouble for tresspassing.
I've also stayed at The Doric Hotel before now 🙂
Ohh I remember the lift that screams in your face “ This lift is going up, floor 2 this lift is going up, floor 3 this lift is going up “

*CONGRRRRATULATIONS!!!!!*
BENO, YOU NOW HAVE OVER *30 MILLION VIEWS!!!!*
7:22 is my favorite tram in this video
GOLD!!!!
I remember a sort of car rally presentation going on at The Norbreck Castle Hotel a few years ago
22:17 - someone’s had a bad day...
True there mate
You are Nuts Cool Beno, I love your stunts. Just found your channel
2:09 what is that door closing voice. It's absolutely horrible.
Lol
liftadventures, it sounds like my cookery teacher lol
My home town, Classic People, Norbreck Castle orona already been replayed with generic.
I love Blackpool ❤
I think music is to scare off seagulls and I think that old box thing that looks old could be an old incinerator that's not used anymore
The speakers are part of the tannoy and are also used as the fire alarm, they play music normally as do the ones in the centre
Beno and boys, DO come over to North Wales to the worlds fastest zip line o er the Penryn quarry and the cable car at The Great Orme and the tram that traverses it. That'll keep you busy.
I love old Orona lifts
9:45 and that's the only thing that keeps an eye out
I've stayed next to The Imperial before now 🙂
Love Blackpool ❤

Haha I work in the Seabank as a contractor! I was gonna message you over this place but you beat me to it 😂
Like your videos beno lifts
Ever seen the Blackpool Illuminations, Beno? I went to see them on Friday 🙂
At least that tram is better than the time they turned a bus into a full-on train (basically a bus body on some train wheels IIRC)
I wonder what the fuck that guy outside the Ambassador Hotel's problem was, especially considering you were only standing outside taking pictures - its not even like you'd gone in! Someone must've really pissed him off earlier in the day, and he was looking to pick a fight with someone out on the street. What a prick, either way.
Jordan and Ben are so awesome!
And I'm shocked that that great lift wasn't modernised

i also stayed in the imperial
Beno you are like the post 10 version of the United Kingdom
You should have shown the police his license plate
Ever been to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Beno?
My home City has one of the old black pool trolley trains.
Beautiful tower ❤️ Did you go across the Walk of Faith, guys?
5:23 I remember when I was young being dragged into this lift because I hate going in them
beno the old tram modification is so it could fit normal tram platforms
Ben I've stayed in the imperial hotel but I was 8 and knew fuck all about lifts
Hey do you plan on going to the St. George Tower in London? From what I found out, they have 50 story Mitsubishi lifts
Dun dun dunnnnnn! Ohhhhhh!! 😛
I have been to the blackpool tower and inside the tower there is arogenal lifts
Why do you not like folding fences?
My parents had to drag me in this lift once I hate using lifts
2:32 Beno describes a pacer
Got a Kone ecodisk ad...
I have never been on a tram in Blackpool ☹️
I love the old trans they look better than new ones
Great tram and lift knowelege lads
Pity he takes youngsters on top of them and throws things down lift shafts.
